Log4j.properties to Log4j.xml

[rossmcormier]

Is there a way to use the XML version of Log4j configuration file instead of the key/value .properties version?

I believe that a using the -D switch to set the 'log4j.configuration' system property on the java command line can override the default file it looks for. Can't quite figure out how I could do this in Mirth because of the exe's used to start it.

Removing the .properties file causes Server Manager to show a message box that it cant find the file.

Searched the forums and could not find anyone else trying this.

TIA,
Ross

Thanks for the help.

Here is some additional info. If there is a log4j.xml file in the conf directory Mirth will attempt to use it, however the Log4j system throws parsing errors unless the following line is defined in

wrapper.conf

wrapper.java.additional.1=-Dlog4j.configuration=./conf/log4j.xml
